Budget 2014 will save a family with three children up to $2145 a year through a boost to
sports vouchers, increased childcare subsidies and the $150 Back to School payment.
Sports Voucher Scheme
The Government has boosted the highly successful Spor ts Voucher
scheme, increasing the annual payment from $75 to $200 per child.
The Spor ts Voucher will now cover activities such as dance, music
lessons and other ar tistic and cultural pursuits to ensure Territory
kids can par ticipate in their favourite spor t or recreational activity.
The scheme will also be expanded to cover swimming lessons
for children aged up to five years not enrolled in school, who
have completed the Government’s Under 5 Water Safety
Awareness Program.
Visit www.spor tvoucher.nt.gov.au to find out more.
Childcare Subsidy
The Budget increases the childcare subsidy by 10%, meaning it
now contributes about $1445 per year towards the cost of day care
for a child under two. The subsidy will also cover family day care,
meaning an additional 1000 Territory children will be eligible.
Back to School Payment
In addition, the $6.6 million Back to School payment will continue to
provide $150 payments per student across all Territory schools to
help parents with expenses such as school uniforms and textbooks.
For a family of three children, two school aged and one under
two in child care, this equates to a savings of $2145 to the
household budget.
